bashrc file in the home directory on the WSL Ubuntu: When you start VcXsrv, choose 'Multiple Windows', 'Start no client', deselect 'Native opengl', and select 'Disable access control' to be able to use the X server from WSL.ДЄdditionally, append the following lines to your.

If you want to run the Octave GUI, you can install an X server. You can start that command line interface with the 'Ubuntu' shortcut in the start menu. So by default, WSL is only a command line interface. The X server on Linux is necessary to present program windows to the users. WSL (or WSL2) does not contain an X server. Once you logged in to Ubuntu on WSL, continue as if you would run Ubuntu natively. But for reasons already mentioned, you should choose Ubuntu. But it also has some limitations (see below).ДЄgain it is possible to choose from several different Linux distributions. WSL2 is basically a virtual machine running the Linux kernel that is more closely integrated into Windows. To install WSL2 on Windows, follow the instructions by Microsoft.

Many of the shortcomings (like tediously slow 'fork' and 'stat') have been fixed in WSL2 which was released together with Windows 10 Update 2004. The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) was not very interesting for serious development in its first version. Once you started the VM and logged in, continue as if you would run Ubuntu natively. The login data for VMs downloaded from osboxes is: vmx file you just created.Д¬hange the amount of memory or the number of processors you want to assign to the VM in the Virtual Machine settings in VMWare Player. You can start the VM by double-clicking on the.

After the download has finished, unzip the image. You can download an Ubuntu image for VMWare Player from their side.

There are several sources for free complete Linux VM images on the web. VMWare Player is free (as in no costs) for non-commercial use. So these are probably the Linux distributions for which you are most likely to get help if you should run into issues. Most of Octave's developers are running Debian or Ubuntu. Using VM is the currently recommended way to build Octave on Windows machines.Д«uilding Octave natively on Windows is experimental! The only supported way of creating Windows binaries of Octave is cross-building with MXE Octave ( Windows Installer). (Be aware that this might take some time.) It is also possible to build Octave on Windows machines using virtual machines or Microsoft's Windows Subsystem for Linux. It seems to be possible to build Octave natively on Windows with the MSYS2 shell. If you want to contribute changes to C++ files or are interested in testing the latest development or (unreleased) stable release, you can build Octave from source. Those are the preferred way of contributing to Octave. It is also quite easy to create Mercurial patches with that software. One that nicely integrates with the Windows Explorer and that offers an easy to learn user interface is TortoiseHg.

There are several Mercurial clients for Windows. Octave is version controlled in a Mercurial repository at. It might have already been fixed in the development or (unreleased) stable version.

If you found something you'd like to fix or improve, check out the bug tracker. The easiest way to contribute (not only from Windows) is probably by changing or adding. But if you are running Windows, you can contribute to Octave nevertheless. Octave development is done mainly on Linux.
